TimexTime Machines Kids 29 mm Elastic Fabric Watch

My little granddaughter was thrilled with her watch.

Great starter watch for my daughter quite robust and water resistant

The watch itself it fine and has a clear easy to read face, however I’m not particularly happy with the design of the strap, which is annoying as it’s one of the reasons I bought this watch in the first place. I thought it would be good as it’s elasticated, but it’s difficult to adjust as you have to pull the end of the strap tight from the inside (when it’s on) and even then it’s won’t seem to fit snug in my grandson’s wrist and keeps coming loose! It’s also prone to coming undone if it’s pulled a bit too enthusiastically. A little bit of Velcro would have been better for securing the strap in place rather than the dodgy/flimsy catch that’s on it. Honestly, who designs these things!! I’d have expected better from a brand as well known as Timex. So yeah, while the watch face is good, I’ll be looking to replace the strap asap. 😠

I got this for my 7 year old son as he was refusing to learn telling the time using books/videos/toys. I got him to to choose from a number of options (colours+prints). He chose the football one where second hand in a football that just 'floats' as there is no visible hand supporting it. So that's an element of fun. It looks well-made and the elastic band makes it easy for children to just take it off and put it back on like a rubber band. He has learned how to tell the time in just 2 days and has thanked me for buying him this watch. Highly recommended!

Son loved his little watch at Christmas, worn it to school and it’s helping him learn the time.

bought for a xmas present so will wait for recipients view

I like this watch as it's clear to read and had a comfortable strap which is easy just to pull on over wrist

Overall a great 1st watch. Band will fray over time, but has stood up so far. Numbers make it a good teaching tool. Main gripe is that in the specifications it says "Back Light" under "special features." That's part of the reason I bought it. It does not have a back light.
